Data stories are about people. We make charts about customers buying things, students earning grades, investors placing trades and on it goes. The people reading and making charts also have stories to tell, but their experiences are hard to describe with numbers and simple shapes....
A common question that comes up in trainings is: "I accidentally removed the null indicator, how do I get it back (without using undo)?" Ignoring the null indicator on visualizations can often cause discomfort among end users as they may believe that something is wrong. In certain...
Many of us at InterWorks are avid sports fans, as you can see from our various blog posts and the many examples in the Viz Gallery. While these examples tend to focus a lot on football (pro or college) and various other sports, I wanted...
If anyone ever told you it’s not possible to make a dynamic fiscal calendar in Tableau, then you weren’t talking to someone from InterWorks. It may require a few steps, but as is often the case, all we need are a few clever calculations. So, what...

Scrolling through each tragic moment in...
Now that the fundamentals of Tableau Drive have been established with our previous Driver’s Ed articles, let’s talk about the four phases of Drive. These are the broad steps necessary in building an analytical culture within your organization. If these look similar to traditional phases in project...
Have you ever gotten up from your desk, walked over to the office kitchen, reached down to get coffee, only to find an empty coffee pot? If so, you personally know the inspiration behind our next installment in the Quantified Office series. At our office, we...
It’s 9 a.m., and you’ve just entered the classroom for your Tableau class, whether it’s Fundamentals or Advanced. Or, maybe you’ve just logged into the virtual classroom and are waiting for the rest of the students to show up in the chat window. How much...
While not a regular occurrence, I have come across situations where a client wants to display a hidden sheet with an action filter but wants to enable different worksheets to activate the hidden sheet. If the sheets are filtering on different fields when you set an...
Our client needed to provide external users (their customers) with access to their Tableau Server on Amazon Web Services (AWS). When it came time to discuss authentication, Active Directory (AD), while generally a good choice within an enterprise, was quickly ruled out. They needed an identity/authentication...
We get lots of questions conducting Tableau trainings across the country. Many of them unveil new functionality that Tableau releases that we as trainers come across first when teaching new Tableau users. The below question has many answers, but I wanted to highlight something from Tableau...
At first glance, it could appear as if there is redundancy between level of detail calculations and table calculations. In fact, you might wonder if you could use table calculations to accomplish much of the functionality for LODs. Let’s consider a simple use case for...

Even with the best planning, we occasionally end up with less than speedy dashboards. Tableau is great at crunching large amounts of data – but when you are looking at many different slices of millions of records, anything would be slow. There are many ways to improve the...
Fixed LOD Berechnung Die INCLUDE- wie auch die EXCLUDE-Berechnungen verhalten sich relativ zur Visualisierung, in der sie genutzt werden. Wenn Du mit INCLUDE eine Dimension einschließt, die bereits in der Ansicht vorhanden ist, wird die Berechnung keinen extra Effekt haben. Genauso wird EXCLUDE keinen Effekt haben, wenn...
This is the third article in our Tableau Deep Dive on level of detail. Part 1 reviewed the idea of detail. Part 2 introduced level of detail calculations and examined the Include LOD calculation. Let’s now jump into Exclude. A Use Case For our examples in this article, we’ll...
